About This Tire

The Kumho Ecsta V730 225/50R16 is an extreme performance summer tire designed for sports car and performance sedan drivers who prioritize maximum grip and precise handling in competitive driving environments. Its tread design and compound focus on delivering exceptional dry traction and cornering stability through an ultra-high grip compound with fine carbon black and synthetic resins, paired with a highly asymmetric tread pattern.

The V730 features an extensive outboard shoulder element that enhances cornering traction and dry road responsiveness, while an optimized footprint design helps manage extreme lateral forces during high-performance driving. Driver feedback indicates outstanding dry performance capabilities, with good comfort levels and treadwear characteristics for this category, though wet weather performance remains more modest.

Compared to traditional performance tires, it emphasizes maximum grip and track-focused handling over all-weather versatility and comfort. Overall, it's a solid choice for enthusiast drivers participating in autocross, track days, and high-performance driving schools who need a tire that can handle extreme conditions while still being usable on public roads.
